The best-selling author of Passages returns with a myth-shattering investigation of menopause. Gail Sheehy reveals through interviews with women from broad backgrounds that the passage is seldom easy, often marked by confusing medical advice and societal scorn. Sheehy sets out to erase the stigma and render normalcy to a normal physical process.
Gail Sheehy was an American author, journalist, and lecturer. She was the author of seventeen books and numerous high-profile articles for magazines such as New York and Vanity Fair. Sheehy played a part in the movement Tom Wolfe called the New Journalism, sometimes known as creative nonfiction, in which journalists and essayists experimented with adopting a variety of literary techniques such as scene setting, dialogue, status details to denote social class, and getting inside the story and sometimes reporting the thoughts of a central character.
